Facts and practical information

Maria Cunitz bench - sculpture by Stanislaw Strzyzynski located on the Świdnica Market Square in front of the Museum of Old Merchants. The monument was financed by the Świdnica City Hall as part of the project "2008 Year of Maria Kunic" and unveiled on March 31, 2009.

The sculpture depicts Maria Cunitz, an astronomer who spent a large part of her life in Świdnica. She is sitting on a bench and looking up at the sky, holding in her hands her work "Urania propitia" and an armillary sphere. The "Urania propitia" is autographed "Maria Cunitia", which comes from the astronomer's letter to John Hevelius.
